Setups that often work before 11 often don't work after 11 bc lunch choppy markets and lower volatility
Here's a notion. The market is often goosey/hopeful/opinionated around the opening because of overnight info and economic numbers early in the morning. It's also often that way in the late day in anticipation of overnight response from Asia/Europe. Beyond those times (mid-day) there is not so much conviction/hope/anticipation... just slopping around waiting for something to provide "guidance"... real or imagined. (If you want to dash out away from the market to get a hair cut during the day, that's the time to do it.) Nevertheless... the charts tell what players are doing with their money... that's what you need to get a handle on.
